Contact and frictional properties of stratum corneum of human skin
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2015 Most skin tribology studies gave attention on the examination of frictional properties of normal and healthy skin surfaces. This study aims to investigate the frictional and mechanical properties of skin under different load and friction conditions after

Dermatology Online Journal, 2008 Skin tags are common benign neoplasm located predominantly in intertriginous skin. Generally of cosmetic concern, they can be easily treated with cryotherapy, electrodessication or snip-excision. Despite their high incidence data about their etiopathogenesis are scarce in the medical literature.

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1977 To gain a more fundamental understanding of the frictional properties of skin, various parameters (hydration, oils, surfactants, etc) affecting skin friction were evaluated using a rotational friction technique. The rotational device utilized a motor-driven wheel.

Computational analysis of viscous dissipation and joule-heating effects on non-Darcy MHD natural convection flow from a horizontal cylinder in porous media with internal heat generation [PDF]
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2014 In the present paper we examine the effects of viscous dissipation, Joule heating and heat source/sink on non-Darcy MHD natural convection heat transfer flow over permeable horizontal circular cylinder in a porous medium.

Skin friction blistering: computer model [PDF]
Skin Research and Technology, 2007 Background/purpose: Friction blisters, a common injury in sports and military operations, can adversely effect or even halt performance. Given its frequency and hazardous nature, recent research efforts appear limited. Blistering can be treated as a delamination phenomenon; similar issues in materials science have been extensively investigated in ...

Effect of Preston Tube Diameter to Accurate Estimation of Flow Resistance in Smooth Rectangular Open Channel [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 1970 In this paper, the effect of tube diameter (Dp) in measurement of shear stress (tb) of the boundary layer wall was investigated under a zero pressure gradient. For this purpose, four different tubes with outside diameters of 3.2, 3.9, 4.7 and 6.3 mm were
